The Dropbox service is a cloud based storage service that allows you to bring your photos, documents, and videos anywhere, anytime and easily share them. Yet, the free space from the Dropbox service is limited. To more efficiently use your free space at your Dropbox account, would you like to back up files from your Dropbox account? The Dropbox APP is just the right answer for this question.

How to use Dropbox APP?

The QNAP Dropbox APP can synchronize your Dropbox account and your Dropbox folder on the NAS in both directions and in real-time. After you install the Dropbox QPKG and log into your Dropbox account, a NAS folder named “Dropbox” will be created automatically and the synchronization process will start. With “RTRR”, a build-in function of the NAS, you can back up files from your Dropbox account. Please follow the steps below to start.

4 – After adding account, just go to “manage an accunt”, and setup your account just however you need;

.

5 - Here you can start / stop sync whenever you want;

III – How To Sync Dropbox To Qnap (Before 4.1 Firmware)

1. Install Dropbox APP

To install the Dropbox APP on the Turbo NAS, please first log in as an administrator and make sure that your NAS is connected to the Internet. Go to “App Center”>“Backup/Sync” > “Dropbox”, and you will find the Dropbox APP there. Click “Add to QTS” to install this app.

2. Link Dropbox Account

Click “Launch” to start the Dropbox APP.

Click “Sign in” to link with your Dropbox account.

After you click “Sign in”, a window will pop up.
Please enter the email address and password you registered your Dropbox account with, and then enter the password of your Dropbox account for account verification.

Or, if you have already signed in your Dropbox account using a browser, please enter the Dropbox account ID and password directly.

III – How To Start / Stop Qnap-Downbox Sync

3. Check synchronization status and capacity

You can check the Dropbox synchronization status and capacity from the Dropbox console.

4. Back up files on Turbo NAS after synchronization

Click the “File Station” icon to open the Dropbox folder in the File Station. You can find a “Dropbox” folder under the “home” folder in File Station. All your files in your Dropbox account will be synchronized to your Turbo NAS. Please note that the Dropbox folder on the Turbo NAS will be synchronized with your Dropbox account in both directions and in real time. Please set up the RTRR function to back up your files to another folder. (For more information on RTRR, please refer to “Protect QNAP NAS Data with Real-time Remote Replication, RTRR”)

5. Stop synchronizing with your Dropbox account

If you want to stop synchronizing with your Dropbox account, please click the icon next to your Dropbox account on the Dropbox APP home page.
Please note that once you log out, the Dropbox APP will stop the synchronization process right away. The data will not be deleted, however, but when you sign in again, the synchronization process will start again.

After the confirmation window pops up, click “Yes” to log out.

.

IV – Account Connection Limitations

Each NAS user account with administrator privileges can be synchronized only with one Dropbox account. You may set up the NAS account on the “Users” page (“Control Panel” > “Administrator Privilege” > “Control Panel” > “Users”.) Up to five Dropbox accounts are supported (the accounts with administrator privileges.)

Log into the Turbo NAS using another user ID with administrator privileges; then, the Turbo NAS will synchronize with another Dropbox account.

5 Responses to Back Up Files From Your Dropbox Account To Your QNAP

Does the QNAP Dropbox Sync support LAN Sync as the Dropbox Windows client does? The reason I ask is I have two other systems on my network that already have my Dropbox data and it would sync a lot faster over the LAN than it would over the internet.

Does the dropbox Sync support Lan Sync. I know it is better to copy every thing to the NAS and use that as a central repository but sometimes I am using my macbook and like to quickly sync a few folders through the local network.
